He probably called them up with a little humility, instead phone chats during his whole interview and telling another team maybe I don't fit in here.

His dad probably had to toss in some cash to make it happen.

from the Beast....I'll also post this in the Cam Jackson thread when it's posted

STRENGTHS:  
● Mammoth frame with above-average height, length and body thickness 
● Solid athleticism and balance for a man his size 
● Plays strong and can be immovable in the run game 
● Improved use of length and hands in the run game for quicker sheds 
● Heavy-handed with stopping power at contact, routinely handling double teams 
● Uses height to his advantage and rarely loses sight of the football 
● Wide tackle radius to swallow up runners and finish with throw-down violence 
● Played penalty-free football in 2024 
● Coaches say his leadership voice got better and better over two seasons in Gainesville 
WEAKNESSES:  
● Below-average pass-rush impact 
● Streaky snap anticipation — doesn't gain much ground with his initial step 
● Creates pop at contact as a bull rusher but doesn't consistently drive blockers backwards 
● Gets upright quickly, which weakens his base and zaps some power 
● Needs to improve consistency, staying square in the run game 
● Plays hard but doesn't have much range or closing burst outside the hashes 
● Gets out of control at times, leaving him overextended at the waist 
● Combined for just 18 pressures on 321 pass-rush snaps in two seasons with the Gators 

 

SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Florida, Jackson was the nose tackle in co-defensive coordinator Austin Armstrong's scheme, playing primarily on early downs (averaged 28.8 defensive snaps per game over his two seasons in Gainesville). After his full ride to LSU fell through, he earned Memphis' attention before finally making it to the SEC as a dominant run defender with the Gators. 


A massive human (you don't need to know his jersey number to spot him on tape), Jackson occupies space and is able to eat up double teams to keep linebackers clean behind him. He flashes power to big-boy blockers but doesn't consistently sustain and collapse the pocket, which limits his role on sub-package downs. Overall, Jackson has a shallow toolbox as a pass rusher, but he is a solid athlete for his size and a tough player to displace as a two-gapping run stuffer.

Regardless of scheme, he offers value as an early-down NFL nose who can anchor and eat up blocks. 
GRADE: 3rd-4th round 

Penalty free football is notable.

Looked him up, saw 6'6, 328...

Damn 😳

our backup NT.  Brown III is probably the starter, as you know.  We have Brown, Wharton, Robinson and a few others at DE right now.

Honestly hilarious he goes to Cleveland in the 5th round after all the bluster about not wanting this team or that team.

Atleast he has a chance to compete for the job…

Browns just throwing sh!t at the wall

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
